The Vehicle Configuration Database (VCdb) is a fully normalized, relational database of vehicle configurations for passenger cars and light trucks sold in the US, Canada and Mexico.
The Product Classification Database (PCdb) is intended to design, populate and implement a data repository for coded hierarchical terminology describing replacement parts, service items and supplies commonly sold in the auto care market.
The Product Attribute database (PAdb) is an auto care industry standard reference database to be used in conjunction with the Product Information Exchange Standard (PIES).
A Qualifier Database (Qdb) is supplied to help standardize terminology within the industry and reduce the number of potentially confusing free-text expressions found in applications. Qualifiers not covered by a vehicle attribute will be contained in the Qdb.
AAIA services cover the data work needed to meet Auto Care Association (formerly AAIA) standards, including ACES cataloging data and PIES product information data.
Most aftermarket retailers, distributors and marketplaces require ACES/PIES-formatted data before they will list or sell your parts, so compliance is often a prerequisite for doing business.
ACES (Aftermarket Catalog Exchange Standard) describes vehicle fitment and application data, while PIES (Product Information Exchange Standard) describes product attributes, pricing, packaging and digital assets.

The Auto Care Association periodically releases updated versions of ACES, PIES and the VCdb reference database, and Anzael updates client files to match current versions.
Yes. Vehicle fitment data is a core part of ACES compliance and is included in Anzael's AAIA service offering.
Standards-compliant ACES/PIES data is built to be broadly accepted, though individual trading partners may request specific subsets or formatting rules that Anzael can accommodate.
Timelines depend on catalog size and data quality; Anzael provides a project estimate after reviewing your current files.
